Random pictures of India.

Kanchipuram is famous for its silk production. I was invited inside a silk factory across from the orphanage and took some photos. The looms are very large and watching how the patterns come together is very interesting.


Walking down the street two weeks ago, at night, I saw a house with a lot of lights outside and people milling about. I asked what was going on and they immediately grabbed me and took me inside. There was a celebration of some sort, with an enormous feast. I took some pictures of the feast, the family, and this baby who was dressed up very ornately.


This is a guy I call Siesta Rajesh. To be honest, I don't know his real name, so I named him after one of the kids. Every day he sleeps on the porch here, covered in flies. Periodically a hand will come up in a fruitless attempt to wave some of the flies away.


Ox-drawn carts are all over the place here. The horns are always painted and often they have bells on them as well. I asked this guy if I could jump on for a ride, and he took me down the street.
